Today, the atmosphere in the Jogorku Kenesh was touching as deputies bid farewell to Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu, who unexpectedly announced his resignation as speaker. The meeting hall was filled with words of gratitude, but discussions about the reasons for his decision took place in the corridors. In their speeches, the elected representatives summarized the work of the former speaker and called on their colleagues for unity, warning against actions that could destabilize the situation.
Janar Akayev was the first to speak, noting that Turgunbek uulu always demonstrated diligence and tried to keep the parliament away from dubious political intrigues. He also emphasized the importance of the former speaker's contribution to the development of the Kyrgyz language.
“Thanks to you, the documentation has finally transitioned to the state language, and the constitutional law on language has truly become effective,” Akayev said.
Kamila Talieva was more straightforward in her assessment, stating that there is no place for intrigues in parliament. According to her, the former speaker never divided deputies into “his” and “others,” but recently there had been chaotic political games within the walls of the Jogorku Kenesh, which, in her opinion, pushed Turgunbek uulu to his decision to resign.
This viewpoint was supported by Ulan Primov, who thanked his colleague for his fairness and wished him success in his future endeavors. Akylbek Tumonbaev expressed surprise, noting that the news of the resignation was unexpected for him, but he also thanked Turgunbek uulu for his contribution to the development of parliamentarism.
Suyunbek Omurzakov, in his speech, emphasized the importance of stability. He positively characterized the path taken by the speaker and called on deputies to unite so that the change in leadership would not affect the effectiveness of the Jogorku Kenesh's work.
Daniyar Tolonov, in turn, noted that Turgunbek uulu made the decision to resign independently. He emphasized that during his chairmanship, the speaker made a significant contribution to the development of parliamentarism and always sought to create comfortable conditions for both deputies and staff.
